Default Motor wabbles

When the car is at an idle it runs fine and smooth. You can't tell it's running. It's stock. When u rev it everything shakes or wabbles. The steering wheel the gear shift. Vibration in the car. Any idea's what that could mean?

try the motor mounts. they are made of rubber, and always go on ford models of those years. i figured they had them made out of better material by 94.

an update on this. I played with the timing. Without a light eeek. but just retarded it alittle and the vibration came out some. I'm gonna go get a light this afternoon and make sure it's set dead on. The previous owner wasn't very bright and said he did fool with it. i will keep you guys updated.
